Publisher's Synopsis
One of Newbery Honor author Avi's most popular middle-grade mysteries is
available in paper once again. "Avi combines simplicity of style with wit as he
builds a believable, gripping plot that is highly accessible to young readers"
( "Booklist" ). The mystery revolves around a rare edition of "The Wizard
of Oz" missing from the local library. When Becky is accused of stealing it,
she and her twin brother Toby set out to catch the "real" thief and prove
her innocence. Clues cleverly hidden in four other books lead to a hidden
treasure--and a gripping adventure. "This is fun reading!" "School Library
